I can't imagine the problems we might have at work if we migrated our computers to Vista. Quadglacier, I haven't tried XP 64 but Vista 64 mostly runs fine on a home PC, since the use is quite different from a business computer. Jason, let’s hope Windows 7 does this better.

The most frequent problem I've encountered is with programs not recognizing it as XP. Bad programming. Most 32-bit stuff works great, and the 64-bit programs are very zippy.

Unfortunately, I had to downgrade to 32-bit after I had all sorts of issues with older printer drivers. The drivers were only a few years old, but the manufacturer did not release 64-bit versions. I am running 64-bit Vista at home without any issues so far. Of course the software requirements are smaller and I tend to keep newer tech at home than at work.
